21 "J.W. Bowker" (2-4-0)

V&T
21 was built by Baldwin in 1875. It has 48" drivers and 14" x
22" cylinders, and it weighs 65,000 lbs. It is a coal-burning, standard-gauge
2-4-0. Here we see the locomotive painted to represent Jupiter for a scene
in the movie "Wild, Wild West." The Bowker was actually named
for the master mechanic of the V&T. It is in storage, but clearly visible
through iron bars, at the California State Railroad Museum, Sacramento,
California.

In
an email, Doug Hutchinson tells me that the steam driven water pump was
used to provide high pressure and flow for fire suppression.
